An Engineer Becomes Insane and tine Fire
man Prevents q Disaster.
DEs MoISEs, Ia, September %
Wednesday evening Engineer Bo,sworth,
Of the Wabash south-bound train, gave the
touches to his engine and pulled out
as usual. At Harvey water tank he pulled
past several lengths. The fireman mount
ed the tank and called TO him 10 hack, but
he pulled farther ahead.
The fireman returned 10 the cab, and
seeing that the engineer was dazed, took
charge Of the engine and backed down.
For several stations the engineer would
run past the platform, and he would give
a vacant smile wnen the fireman objected.
Convinced at last that the engineer was
drunk, the fireman at Knoxyill junction
grasped the lever and saved the train from
going through the switch. The conductor
demonstrated with the smiling engineer,
who responded "All right" The tram
was now late, and the engineer put on all
steam. Having passed Beacon he gave q
veil and started TO spring from the cab
window. The watchful fireman caught
him by the legs, and, while be balanced
him on the window ledge, managed with
his foot TO stop the train. The conductor
then helped to get him back to the bag
gage car, where he was carfuliy guarded
to Ottumwa and there turned over TO the
authorities. He was brought home to-day
and did not recognize bis wife.

STOPPED BY THE FOG.
THE BIG YACHTS ARB UNABLE TO CONTEST
IN THEIR SECOND RACE.
Thousands Of Sightsesrs ThrOng the Pleasure Boats
Drilling Rain Dampsns the Ardur Of
Enthusiastic Tachtsmsn-
They Sail To-Day.

NEW YORK, September 29.-This is the
day set for the second contest between the
Thistle and the Volunteer.
A worse day can hardly be imagined.
The wind is light and every object is OBJ
scured in heavy fog. A drizzling rain is
falling, and everything is damp and dreary.
The excursionists who have purchased
tickets to 90 out to see the race are much
disappointed. They seem little inclined
to venture beyond the Narrows, let alone
to 90 outside the Hook, where the start is
to be made.
At the anchorages of the various yacht
clubs, at Bay Ridge, the scene is very
different from that presented on Tuesday.
The ladies in bright colors were every
where and hundreds of all kinds of boats
were rushing about to see and be seen.
To-day but few ladies were visible and
those few were all enveloped in rubber
coats and heavy wraps
Most of the sailing yachts went down
TO the Hook last night aud anchored inside
the Horseshoe. At 10 o'clock dispatch
was received from Sandy Hook stating that
the steam fog whistle on the Government
pier was blowing at regular intervals, and
that although the fog had lifted little, it
still hid objects over 500 yards away. The
signals which had been flying at Sandy
Hook for several days, predicting a north
erly storm, have been hauled down. The
storm has apparently passed by without
being felt in this vicinity.
The Thistle remained in the Horseshoe
all last night. The ballast, two tons of
which was shifted to the run, has set her
down by the stern great deal. Mr.. Bell
is satisfied with the vessels trim. To
Tighten the racer, her big davits, six in
number, were sent ashore at the railroad
dock. At $40 the Thistle was passing by
the point of Sandy Hook, going out to the
starting line She had her mainssil and
forestay sail set. The jib was in stops, and
she had not set her topsail.
The following dispatch was received
from Highlands at 20:05 a. m: The wealth
er still remains very thick. The steam fog
Siren, at Sandy Hook, is going full blast at
minute intervals. This shows that the
fog is dangerously thick at that point as
we'll as here. 1t is not probable that a
start will be made to-day unless the fog
lifts and wind rises by noon, which wealth
er-wise people hereabouts say is not at all
probable.
By eleven o'clock the wind had gone
down to six miles an hour and the fog was
getting thicker; half an hour later the
wind fell to four miles an hour, but the fog
was so dense that nothing could be seen
beyond few hundred yards.
At 1884 the Electra signalled that the
race is of for to-day, and all the excursion
boats at once put about and headed for
home.
The race will be sailed tomorrow, wealth
er permitting.

would NOT be dangerous to remove him.

various labor headquarters the matter is
being discussed with the keenest interest
possible.

COLUMBUS, o., September 29.-The an
nual session of the State Board of Health
in this city brought TO light the exist
ence of a peculiar disease at Ada, in this
State
James Lesley, a farmer, about six months
ago noticed small sore coming on his
cheek 1T became more serious in spite OF
treatment, and in a few weeks assumed a
malignant form and began eating away
the homes of his nose. Local physicians
pronounced it glanders, and said be had
caught the disease from q horse and that
the disease was fatal and very contagious.
The effect of this was TO completely Os-
tracse Lesley, even his own kinsfolk de-
serting him. Mo leper in Olden time was
ever so completely cast ont, So fearful of
cOntagiOn are the neighbors that Lesley
cannot dispose of his home, although will
ing to sell at hall price. Lesley has thus
been driven to appeal to the Board of
Health for an opinion that will, as he
hopes, set aside the fears entertained by
his neighbors. The Board has sent an
agent to investigate the case.

tating considerably against its success.
Still there are several thousand comrades
upon the ground and they are paradiDg

AT THE MEETING THIS EVENING.
The Committee on Annual Address of
the Commander-in-Chie endorses the ad-
dress and congratulstes COmmander-in-
Chief Fairchild and the Grand Army OF
the Republic upon his administration dur
ing the past year, stating that all OF his
official acts and every sentiment contained
in his address meets with the approval OF
the committee, and they believe with the
approval of the comrades. To the dis
charge of the delicate and assiduous duties
of the high Office, as was deseryedly be-
lieved By the Twentieth National Encamp-
ment, Comrade Fairchild brought rare tact
and talent. He has fearlessly and faithfully
discharged every duty; always having in
view the best interests of the Grand
Army. They recommend the presenta-
tion of proper testimonial to him.
The recommended the appointment Of
Past Commander-in-C Chief Robert B. Beath
as historian OF the order, and endorse
the recommendations Of permanent
National headquarters, and approve the
suggestion that the general government
include in the next decennial census an
enumeration of the Union soldiers and
sailors of the late war. who may be living
in 1890. The report was unanimously
adopted with three rOusing cheers for
Fairchild.
The Department Of Pennsylvania pre-
sented to every delegate and other persons
entitled to seats in the convention me-

child.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
back p large number Of resolutions mostly
pertaining to the routine work OF the or
der. Among them was a resolution in re-
gard to pOlygrmy in Utah. The committee
reported adversely on the ground that the
matter was foreign To the purposes OF the
Grand Army and political in its nature.
The following resolution was adopted:
ReSolred that is the sense Of this En-
campment that there should be place set
apart by law at the Capitol of the Nation,
where all captured flags and other trophies
of war shall be preserved and displayed.
We therefore require Congress TO make
such provision, abdrecommend Exposition
Hall, as a suitable place for said purpose.
An effort was made to proceed to the
election of officers and considerable Parlia-
mentary wrangling was before the result.
The commander finally moved that other
business have precedence.
The cities OF Columbus, Gettysburg,
Saratoga and Chattanooga presented their
claims to location of the next enCampment
Hurst, OF Ohio, made an able speech favor
ing Columbus; Beath, of Pennsylvania,
favored Gettysburg. Before the ballot was
announced Saratoga and Chattanooga with

MINNEAPOLIS, September est is now

in which event the line will be completed
in time to handle considerable part of

down with superabundance of produce of
all kinds especially wheat, and they are at
their wits end to find means for moving
it. Rails for the new road are arriving
daily and the report that the Canadian
Pacific rOsd would unnecessarily delay
them has proven to be unfounded. Ac-
tive measulR have been taken in Wlnnl-
peg and th& aghout the Province of Mani
toba to raise funds, Premier NOrquay's s
efforts in that direction having failed. AS
the Northern Pacific road is much interest
ed in the Red River scheme, it is reported
that syndicate in that interest may handle
the bonds IN the event of failure to dis
pose of them elsewhere.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 29.-Consid-
cradle gossip has been INDUCED in during
the past few days over the alleged refusal
of Mrs. Hendricks to decorate her residence
on the occasion of the Presidents visit on
Saturday.
When seen last night Mrs. Hendricks
said that she had not refused to decorate,
but beyond displaying the national colors
she would not decorate. This action, she
said, would not be the OutgrJwth Of any
i'll feeling toward the President and Mrs.
Cleveland, but because she did not regard
profuse decoration of her residence at all
seemly under the circumstances.
1.-The Presidents visit" she said, will
revive many sad memories, and while /
shall be very glad to have him and Mrs.
Cleveland call upon me, do not think /
could appropriately decorate on the occa-
sion"

A PRETTY SQUABBLE.
A Presbyterian Paper Raking the Centsn-

nial Commission Over the Goals.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 90
The presence of Cardinal Gibbons at the
Centennial services in Independence
Square on Saturday, a week ago, has
stirred up q bitter feeling among the
Presbyterians of this city, If the Presby-
terian Journal is fair exponent Of their
opinions. Last week it contained
several criticisms upon the Cen
tennial Commissioners for inviting the
Cardinal.
John A. Kasson, now at his home in
Iowa, as President of the Commission, re-
piled to the article in an interview. He
said the Commission studiously avoided
any semblance of partisanship, either re-
ligious or political in the arrangements,
and that Cardial Gibbons was invited as
the head Of the largest body Of Christians
in the United States.
The Presbyterian Journal, which will be
issued tomorrow, will devote two entire
pages in answering Mr.. Kasson's reasons
why Cardinal Gibbons was invited to offer
the closing prayer at the centennial e1-
ercises. The article concfudes with these
words: I'VE confess our Protestant blood
boils over at this. Mr.. Kasson, and other
Protestants who were on the commission,
had no right to sell out and humiliate
Protestsnts TO the Protestant nation. II
they were hoodwinked or acted from eccle-
siastical ignorance, they should confess
their error

Seven Hundred Members Withdraw From
the Order In Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, September 29.-The strike
in the woolen mills of this city, has proven
failure. The weavers demanded an in
crease of wages and were supported in
their action by the Knights of Labor.
The mill owners took firm stand, refusing
to take back any Of the strikers who would
not sign an agreement to give up
all allegience to the Knights and come
back at the old wages. They were COM
PEELED to close. Recently, however, their
employees began to seek their old places at
the owners terms, and nearly all the
weavers have agreed to the conditions.
Two mills are at work and another ex-
poets to be able to begin to-day. 1t is a
very severe defeat for the Knights Of La
Dor, who lose nearly 700 members after
supporting that number for two months,
each having drawn from s. to S. week
from the labor treasury.
